Handwoven Manabasket – Empowerment in Every Weave

Discover more than just a beautiful basket — our Manabaskets are deeply rooted in purpose and community.

Why We Love It (and Why You Will Too):
This handwoven basket is crafted by skilled women artisans in Kenya, using traditional weaving techniques handed down through generations. Each piece is unique, with slight variations in pattern and colour that reflect the care and craft that goes into its making.

Ethical & Meaningful:

• Empowering Women: Every Manabasket purchase directly supports the livelihoods of Kenyan women. Through Manabaskets, 100% of profits are donated to Manasprings Inc., an Australian charity dedicated to empowering women in vulnerable and marginalised communities in Kenya.

• Fair Trade, Fair Life: Manabaskets works directly with local weaving cooperatives, ensuring fair trade principles are respected. 

• Sustainable Craft: The baskets are woven from natural fibres — from sisal to baobab — promoting sustainable materials and long-term use.

Design & Function:
This basket is not only meaningful — it’s functional. Use it as a stylish storage piece, a market companion, or a thoughtful gift. Its sturdy weave can hold daily essentials, while its elegantly organic shape brings warmth and texture to any space.

A Gift That Gives Back:
When you choose a Manabasket, you're not just bringing home a homeware object — you're investing in the stories of women who pour their time, talent and heart into each creation. Your support helps sustain their craft, their traditions, and their futures.
